Tuesday, May 4

What could possibly be better than ... Christmas or my birthday, a sunny spring day, the gentle sound of rain while I'm drifting off to sleep, my first cup of morning coffee, walking barefoot on the beach, the blue blue blue of the warm Caribbean, the sweet smell of freesia ...

That could only be, the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from being with my loved ones.

My oldest daughter, Carrie, and her two little boys are arriving today from Connecticut, and I'll be in Grammy heaven for a whole week. I'm going to be a little scarce for awhile, but I'm sure you'll understand.

Notes and Comments ...

"CJ, You fly everyone away on daydreams and wishes, boo-boos and bats, frog legs and monkeys, and old circus clowns. I can't think of a single children's poet(and I've read a few) that has the ability to marry the children's poem with a life's lesson like you do and keep it fun. You need to go on Oprah. Yes, my dear, CJ, you fly." ~Rusty Daily

"You are such a natural and spontaneous writer, who freely gives of her soul to her readers. You never fail to amuse and entertain with your brilliant and witty writes. You have a razor sharp mind and acute awareness of what makes people tick, or tock." ~ Peter Paton

"CJ, You are every primary teachers dream come true. I have found that rhyming words are important for six year olds when learning to spell and read. I love your poetry! You never cease to amaze me." ~Joyce Bowling

"CJ is predominately viewed as a writer of works for children, but CJ now carries over her approach to more adult themes. In doing so, she presents a profound world that is deeply sad, incredibly humorous and sometimes intimate." ~Joseph Daly"I have known C.J. Heck as an very talented author for well over a year now. Her words are enlightening and charismatic to people of all ages. It has been a privilege and honor knowing her and reading her prolific pen. I highly recommend her work to all." ~Janet Caldwell (COO Inner Child Press)

"CJ's writing ability is a testament to talent and passion. Her ability to craft words into emotion and movement is remarkable." ~Lexy Page (Owner/Freelance Photographer at GA Page Photography)

"CJ is a writer that comes through as a great communicator but you also have a strong feeling of friendship with her and her pen. She touches your heart in special ways. She makes you feel like you have lived this story." ~James McCraney (Owner, James McCraney Financial, LLC)
